      I was there, Bootleg. I was there 3 thousand years ago. I was there the day the patience of Lemmy failed. I mean, come on mizu6079, just tell us why you need to avoid pooping for that long!

      But yeah, that happened right after I started using Lemmy. I’d been commenting for less than a week, and my first post was a “Chewy, we’re home” meme about how all the memes on the topic made me feel as a new user. That account’s long dead now, but apparently lemmy.world still has my post https://lemmy.world/post/560966. Federation is neat.

      So was I.
      Although my account back then was on a now dead instance. 😔

                There was once a lone server admin who ran the show and but everything was good.

                Then people came, we don’t tell from where, and the users and amount of posts increases, the lone server admin no longer could handle all of that themself and asked some mods to co-admin the instance. Everything was good again

                Then the server admin took a well deserved vacation, to an unknown location. But the co admins could handle the administrative stuff. Everything seemed good.

                Then bugs were detected. Updates were needed. Harddisks ran full. The dreaded /pictrs issue arose and caused PTSD. Required keys and permissions were not granted to the co admins. But hope remain that the server admin returns from their vacation…

                they never returned…

                the migration to a new instance was costly,
                the fate of that server admin? shrouded in mysteries.

                disclaimer I suck at story telling in a non native language.

        OP commented cheerfully on all the memes about him, but still refused to elaborate. Then he disappeared for the week, as expected. I can’t remember for sure, but I thought I recalled him returning briefly asking for advice on dealing with severe constipation, getting annoyed that everyone still only wanted to talk about how his week went and what the hell this was all about, and then he disappeared for good. I assume he’s likely still around under a new identity and he just sighs and clicks away every time this is brought up again.

            Maybe? Can’t go back and look because the account was deleted. I could have easily missed or even forgotten any additional details. Heck, I recently had to be reminded it was 3 days and not a whole week, so don’t put to much trust in my memory.

        IIRC OP disappeared, without an update. The most sane guess I read was that they were going to the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, they live in tents during that

      i remember. I think that was one of my first days. I had helpfully unhelpful advice, like DONT DO IT MAN or EAT CORN if i know me
